| + | ====== Cloud Router with VirtualBox ====== | ||
| + | ===== Install Hypervisor ===== | ||
| + | First you have to install the hypervisor on you guest system. | ||
| + | You can [[https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads|download VirtualBox here]]. | ||
| + | ==== Install Guest VM ==== | ||
| + | Get the lastest Debian 7 netinst CD image (generally 150-280 MB) from [[http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/debian-installer/| here]]. | ||
| + | Debian 8 RC2 which you can [[http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ |download here]] is mot yet supported. | ||
| + | You do not need to install a GUI. Just install the minimal system but include the web server. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Change Display Resolution ==== | ||
| + | Unfortunately the disply resolution is very low by default. You can change it in the GRUB config. | ||
| + | * Open up /etc/default/grub with superuser privileges (''sudo nano /etc/default/grub'') and uncomment/add the following lines, then ''sudo update-grub'' and ''reboot''. | ||
| + | <code bash /etc/default/grub> | ||
| + | GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32 | ||
| + | GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Install Guest Additions (Optional, if you have installed a GUI) ==== | ||
| + | VirtualBox Guest Additions are a set of device drivers and system applications which are designed to be installed in the guest operating systems of VirtualBox. | ||
| + | * Seamless mouse support across host and guest operating systems. | ||
| + | * Shared folders/clipboard between host and guest operating systems. | ||
| + | * High-resolution video modes as well as hardware-accelerated performance for 3D graphics and 2D video. | ||
| + | * Time synchronization between host and guest operating systems. | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | wget http://dlc-cdn.sun.com/virtualbox/4.3.26/VirtualBox-4.3.26-98988-Linux_amd64.run | ||
| + | sudo apt-get install dkms gcc | ||
| + | chmod a+x VirtualBox-4.3.26-98988-Linux_amd64.run | ||
| + | ./VirtualBox-4.3.26-98988-Linux_amd64.run | ||
| + | lsmod | grep vbox | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Configure SSH Server ==== | ||
| + | Instead of working directly on the machine's terminal or GUI you can also connect via SSH. On Windows for example this has the advantage, that you can use PuTTY and a shared clipboad between host and guets is no longer required. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Install Cloud Router ==== | ||
| + | Assuming you have become root by switching user (''su''), you can install Cloud Router as follows | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | wget -q ftp://share.netmodule.com/router/cloud/install.sh -O - | bash | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | After installation you should be able the Web Manager on Port 80. | ||
